History of Aegis
The name AEGIS comes from Greek Mythology. It means “impregnable defence – protection” A pretty good name for a security company we think.
Legend has it that in ancient Greek, the God of Gods Zeus called either his shield, breastplate or cloak his “Aegis”. When wearing or carrying this item Zeus was said to be indestructible.
See: www.zeus-publications.com/zeusgod.htm for more information.
In the last few years the U.S. Navy has developed the “Aegis system” - a superior combat command system used in all their latest cruisers and destroyers to defend there ships from hostile action. In fact the Aegis system is so good it will form the basis of the new Air Warfare Destroyers for the Royal Australian Navy.
See: www.hazegray.org for more information.
Officer Down Memorial - Dedicated to fallen Police & Security officers both here in Australia and overseas.

Australia
Anywhere in Australia at anytime
Urgent assistance: Police, Fire, Ambulance
Phone: 000
Mobile phone - No credit or systems are busy call: 112
Remember, when you call 000 you go to a Telstra operator who will ask
"what service do you require, Police, Fire, Ambulance?"
You tell the operator which service you require.
Then and only then are you put through to the relevant emergency authority.
Or 911
Yes, even in Australia. Please do not try this just to see if this is true. It is. If you try it will connect you to the emergency service operator which becomes a prank or nuisance call. Only recently been added.
